Hey guys,
Since my last post we stayed in Bangkok until Sunday as we were just so lazy about getting everything sorted. We had two full days of sight seeing around the city we paid a tuk-tuk guy to drive us around all day for 200 Baht which is about 3 pound it so cheap its crazy. We saw a lot of temples and monuments so im all templed out now, ive taken loads of photos so i'll have to upload them soon. We also took a boat ride through the main river and side rivers through Bangkok which was a real eye opener as people more or less live under a shack next to the river but they seem to be happy, made me realise how luck i am. Any way then we would just go out in the night to the bars and clubs it such a fast pace city and have met loads of people on the way. We were talking to these boys from Sydney who said we can stay at their pad when we get there for free which was nice. The last night we stayed a few of us went out in to Bangkok for our last night, this guy from cardiff we met, a women from New York, two girls from Germany and two girls from Danemark. We went to go and see a ping pong show if you know what i mean - Well what an experience!!!! I never knew women could do such a thing with darts, a ping pong, coke and even an egg (Dont Ask) after swiftly leaving slightly disturbed we then went back to a few bars with live bands and drank till the early hours before crashing back at the hotel.
Then on Sunday we jumped on a bus to the next city further south called Pattaya, - Well what can i say but the Benidorm of Asia, not a nice place to go as it seemed really sceedy and dirty and seemed to be no young people about but old white men and their Thai brides. It was an experience as every bar we would walk around they would scream and i would get so embarrased as everyone would look as if somebody famous was there, it was nice to have the attention though we felt like the beatles, Ha!!! We ended up in some bar with a lot of Thai women in -Not Ladyboys!! and ended up playing connect four and jennga till 5 am and they would beat us everytime so they had so many drinks of us. We then went to bed ready to go as we knew we didnt want to stay another night here as all there is to do really is to go to bars which does get boring.
We then jumped on a bus to a port further down Pattaya and got a speed boat to Ko Somet, only took about an hour in all and cost about 400 bhat which inst alot at all. What a difference Ko Somet is, its so beautiful and peacefull and really looks like something out of the brochure. Everyone seems more chilled out and its nice being so close to the see out of the hustle and bustle in Bangkok and Pataya. We are staying on a beach hut about 1 minute walk from the beach it is soo nice and the accomodation is about 4 pound a night. We have only just arrived here so we may hire a moped and explore the island or go on another boat trip as we plan to stay here for about 5-7 days before we move to Ko Chang.
So i will update you in a few days
Still missing you all
